Let's talk for the first time todayClub World Cup: Pachuca vs Red Bull Salzburg!
Many teams have changed coaches before the Club World Cup, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Cairo Nacional, Boca Juniors, etc., all the things that should be changed and the ones that should not be changed.
But Salzburg, who should have changed the coach, did not change, and it was still Lech who was in charge of the team…… And Leech's tactical style may not be suitable for the Mexican team.
Everyone knows that Salzburg was once the undisputed Austrian hegemon,They won 10 consecutive titles from 13/14 to 22/23, crushing the entire league.
But in the 23/24 season it didn't work and lost the title.
At that time, everyone thought that the then head coach Struber was too good, and it was clear that the lineup configuration was unique in the league.The total value of all the teams in the entire Austrian Liga is only 512 million, and you Salzburg are 230 million, accounting for 45%.…… But can't you even win such a simple championship?
Then he changed the coach and changed Klopp's assistant coach Lindes, but the record was even worse, and he was dismissed in half a year.
changed to the current Leitch, which is even worse than Linders...... It's really worse than one, and the more you change, the worse it gets!
Why is it useless to change coaches?
Maybe it's because Red Bull's signature high press is a bit outdated.
The high pressing of Rangnick, the godfather of the Red Bull department, used to be the world's leading style of play, but after so many years of development, the weaknesses have also been discovered, and there are even many coaches who specialize in high pressing.
For example, De Zerbi's famous stomping of the ball at his feet, or Michel's at least two touches of the ball, or the increasing number of three centre-back systems nowadays, are all very effective in pressing high posts.
So now there are fewer and fewer teams that use high positions to press, but more and more teams are playing in the midfield, such as Liverpool this season, and they have also eaten some version bonuses.
But if someone else can transform, it will be difficult for Red Bull Salzburg to transform, at least not yet.
Their high pressing stats last season were still the highest in the Ueliga, and they were the only ones.
It's just a pity that this kind of strong high pressing can't bring them a championship, and it may really need to change.
However, they chose the current coach Leitch because of his Red Bull pedigree, who has coached in the Red Bull echelon for many years and also served as an assistant coach in the first team, so let this kind of person make changes? I'm afraid it's not easy.
However, Mexican teams like Pachuca, although they are weak in physical confrontation, they are very delicate in their feet.
Like this morning's Monterrey, it showed off a smooth passing and cutting infiltration.
Salzburg's high pressing...... Can you really steal Pachuca's ball?
And isn't Salzburg's preparation a bit inadequate?
It's so far away from the United States, and the climate and time difference are very different, but I only came to the United States on the 14th and started the first training session on the 15th, isn't it a bit too hasty?
This time, everyone also saw that the performance of the South American teams was very amazing, a total of 6 South American teams, all of which were able to satisfy the fans, which may have something to do with their better adaptation to factors such as jet lag and climate.
A Mexican team like Pachuca may also be more adapted to the climate in the United States, don't you think Monterrey is also quite adaptable?
So, on the whole, although Salzburg is worth three times as much as Pachuca, it is also much more famous around the world.
But will Pachuca be able to please the fans, and what do you think? The little wine party is looking forward to them to win the game!
Well, for today's other competitions, Xiaojiu will still send you text opinions in the evening. If there is anything unclear, you can ask me, "Watch the ball and see clearly", we will see you soon!
